Comment | These artifacts were excavated from a bone mound and around a pit house from the late stages of the Okhotsk culture. Large pottery and relics with special designs were found together in the bone mound, which is considered a ritual space. In this bone mound, there were large pottery pieces of 40 cm in height that were decorated with pictures of waterfowl (third from the right) and of flying birds (second from the right). |
